Chatting to the Naval Base Commander last week, the preparation in Portsmouth Dockyard are going very well – with new logistics buildings completing each week and the major jetty work almost done. I hope you are enjoying the new look Semaphore Circular. We have been very lucky to have several days (free) help from the COBSEO Communications expert, Alice Farrow. The Circ is now much easier to use electronically, with hyper-links to make navigation easier – and also with a modern slick look. May I please BEG all branch secretaries to pass the Circular out electronically to all branch and club members – as well as covering the essentials at the Branch meeting. We put a lot of effort into producing an up-to-date and informative publication each month for the whole RNA and it is vital that it gets out. A big thank you to many branches for getting their year-end returns in to us, don’t forget that at the same time you should complete your on-line form at the Charity Commission, a very easy and quick process for those with income under £5,000 in the year. You will be pleased to hear that I have my nose to the grindstone preparing the RNA’s annual report for the National Council on 11 March. I will be sending you a hard copy when it’s approved with the Conference Agenda, raffle tickets in time for your April meeting. Project Semaphore, the iPads for naval veterans without regular personal access to the internet is going along at a fast pace. Training in London, Harrogate and Hereford starts this weekend, when volunteers will receive their own iPads and those for their candidates. I would love to see more applications for these iPads – I know from feedback than some branches are not aware of this exciting programme. Can I please ask that all branch secretaries cover in the next meeting – new applications to [email protected]. Libor Minibuses. We have ordered the 3 buses from a company in Essex and hope to have one or more at Perth for you to see and try out. The company does the adaption for a wheelchair hydraulic ramp. We will need a few RNA members to come on the ‘Build visit’ to see the buses and talk about fitting out. If interested give Nigel a ring. Some more bits and pieces: • We had an excellent visit to Perth, for a planning meeting for the Conference on 3 June. Bookings have been coming in at a good pace. We think that some are making their own arrangements for accommodation (which is fine), but are not yet booked for the Gala Dinner on the Saturday night. You will not be able to get a ticket on the night – and in fact you need to book the Gala dinner straight away with CONA travel and by 15 April. • Don’t forget to get your Conference delegate booked in asap. • Please pass the word on the Biennial Parade on 10 September to your branch and any local naval associations. This is a day for all Naval Associations and is a great reunion too. Kindest regards from the Central Office team Paul 4 http://www.royal-naval-association.co.uk/ 1. Project Semaphore Newsletter- IPads This Month’s Update from the Project Manager – Sharon Brown. This month has been all about spreadsheets and collating the data on all the wonderful Volunteers and our candidates to enable the first wave of organisation and allocation of iPads. May seem simple but in reality was a very administrative intensive process. Our Northern Project contact Alan was visiting the HQ on 28 Feb and we had to ensure that all the iPads for those attending the training in Harrogate and those for their candidates were ready for him to take back. A full Jacky Dusty evolution!!. The paper work and recording will not only let us know which shipmates have the iPads it will also provide an audit trail that we can present to the Aged Veterans Fund to support the proper use of the funding if required. Our first training events are nearly upon us, London on 4 Mar and Harrogate on 5 Mar, as you read this they may have already happened. This means we are close to getting iPads out to those digitally isolated veterans. Important matters must be addressed…competition results!! First I would like to say thank you for all your efforts assisting myself with the Project and either volunteering to support candidates or applying for your iPad and taking that first bold step to join the digital era. Looking at the data today I can confirm that the winners of a bottle of rum each are: Area with the most candidates – Area 10 with 22 Candidates Branch with the most candidates – Norwich Branch with 7 Candidates I would also like to mention a few individuals. • Gary Daisley from Rayleigh Branch who stepped in to assist Norwich candidates. • Mike Rubery and Michael Cook from Bridlington Branch who have proactively created a plan together to support all the candidates in their areas • John Arnold from Crosby Branch who has volunteered to support, on his own, 7 candidates spread across various locations which is currently the most candidates for a single volunteer. I am looking forward to receiving news of our candidates online in the very near future!! Sharon Brown, Project Manager, Project Semaphore. 5 http://www.royal-naval-association.co.uk/ 2. Guess Where? An Establishment This month can you name this establishment No hovering or looking on Google or Wiki!! The answer will be in next month’s edition. Last month’s answer: Prince of Wales Building, HMS Tamar Hong Kong otherwise known as ‘the upside down gin bottle’ Vice Admiral David Steel (Great friend of the RNA) was first in with the right answer 3. FINANCE CORNER Dear Shipmates Year End Returns 2014 They are still 4 Branches who have not submitted their accounts to Central Office for 2014.

  • Ian Rae: “Two Croatian Chemists Who Were Awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry”
    Croatian Studies Review 13 (2017) Ian Rae: “Two Croatian Chemists who were Awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry” Ian Rae School of Chemistry University of Melbourne [email protected] Abstract Two organic chemists of Croatian origin, Leopold Ružička and Vladimir Prelog, made significant contributions to natural product chemistry during the twentieth century. They received their university education and research training in Germany and Czechoslovakia, respectively. Both made their careers in Zürich, Switzerland, and both shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, in 1939 and 1975, respectively. In this article, I have set the details of their lives and achievements against the education and research climates in Europe and other regions, especially as they apply to the field of chemistry. Key words: Croatia, organic, chemistry, Nobel, Ružička, Prelog 31 Croatian Studies Review 13 (2017) Introduction1 In the twentieth century two organic chemists of Croatian origin were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. They were Lavoslav (Leopold) Ružička (1887-1976) and Vladimir Prelog (1906-1998), whose awards came in 1939 and 1975, respectively. Both were living and working in Switzerland at the time of the awards and it was in that country – specifically in the city of Zürich – that they performed the research that made them Nobel Laureates. To understand the careers of Ružička and Prelog, and of many other twentieth century organic chemists, we need to look back to the nineteenth century when German chemists were the leaders in this field of science. Two developments characterise this German hegemony: the introduction of the research degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), and the close collaboration between organic chemists in industry and university.

  • The Allied Presence on Vis 1943-45 15 Jul 43 a C-47A
    The Allied Presence on Vis 1943-45 15 Jul 43 A C-47A (ser. # 42-23515; Mission 9377) went MIA at Vis Island (apparently all crewmen were accounted for).1 Mid Aug 43 Some 3 weeks before Italy capitulated, the Partisans captured the entire Italian military garrison, of approx. 50 troops, on Vis without a fight, nor any casualties (variously described as an old fort and a lookout post atop Mt Hum). The Italians were disarmed and then freed, whereupon 10 hostages were taken from both Komiža and Vis, with the Italian demand that their weapons be returned within three days.2 31 Aug 43 With no weapons having been returned, the 20 hostages from Komiža and Vis were publicly executed by Italian firing squad.3 8 Sep 43 Italy capitulated. 24 Sep 43 Split evacuated by Partisans under Gen Koca Popović, to advancing Germans, having only controlled the city for eleven days.4 12 Oct 43 OSS began a 3-month mission, under Major Louis Huot, USA, to provide 6,000 tons of supplies to the Partisan garrison on Vis, via Bari, aboard the HMS Gull (Sub-Lt Taylor, RNR) and the little coal steamer SS Bakar. Huot wrote of his main interlocutors being the garrison commander, Commander Sergije Makiedo (actually the Commissar, Lt Col [later Admiral] Josip Černi/Černy was the Cdr), and Jože Poduje. They would moor in the "Baie des Anglais," a little basin on the eastern side of Vis harbor. A derelict convent on the waterfront then served as the Partisan hospital, with 3 young indefatigable doctors, “Bobin,” who spoke shaky French, “Zucalo” who spoke appalling English, & “Biacic” who spoke basic German [note how Strutton cites only 2 Partisan doctors on Vis, the charlatan, “Dr.

  • Introduction This Is a Hardback Reprint of the Original Book, Published in 2011
    Destroyer D01 – the story of HMS Caprice 1942 - 1979 Introduction This is a hardback reprint of the original book, published in 2011. I have made some revisions and additions from information received since then. The idea for this book came from the HMS Caprice (1968) Association; originally to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Caprice’s memorable cruise around the world in 1968. However, with input from the Association’s website and from material provided from many who had served aboard during the destroyer’s 30 years service it became obvious that we had become the de facto archives for the ship’s entire history. Despite its D01 pennant number Caprice was not the Royal Navy's first destroyer! She was, however, 'one of the best' to many who served in her. She also was the first of her class to be launched and the last to finally decommission. This, then, is the story of HMS Caprice and of all those who served in her during her service with the fleet from 1943 to 1973. I have tried to include as much human interest material as possible – a warship is much more than just steel and guns – it’s all about the men who live, work and play in her. Those who man the guns, keep watch, scrub the decks, cook the food, operate and maintain the machinery, keep a lookout, monitor the radar and sonar, it is they that make a warship what it is. Although we are nominally claiming copyright for this book anyone may freely use the information and images contained within, providing it is not for commercial profit.

    All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 247 – MAY 2015 EDITORIAL Welcome to new member Philip Beeley. Hopefully the beginning of many years of enjoyment. By the time you read these words some of you will have been to “Salute” at the Excel Centre, Canary Wharf. Thank you Simon for again taking the lead and running the NWS Game. No doubt you had some helpers whose names I am currently unaware of; well done to you all. Try and get to the Explosion Museum in July; two days of wargames and a chat with some old friends – or make some new friends. Somewhere in the World, the sun is over the yardarm. Norman Bell HMS Ambush, the Royal Navy's newest attack submarine, recently marked a first when it hosted six students from the UK's Submarine Command Course. The students, who are at the start of their five-month intensive training, are the first to undertake the entire course on board one of the navy’s new Astute Class submarines. 1 The Command Course, also known as “Perisher” because of its challenging nature, is one of the most intense military training and assessment courses in the world. Only 70 percent of the officers undertaking Perisher succeed, while those who fail can never serve on board submarines again. On Friday, January 16th, HMS Ambush invited the students, and “Teacher” as the course leader is called, Commander Irvine Lindsay, for a familiarisation visit ahead of the start of the course. Welcoming them was Commander Justin Codd, the Commanding Officer of HMS Ambush.
